I portray the simultaneous allure and menace of Bushwick's post-apocalyptic landscape. To accomplish this, I juxtapose inviting candy-colored skies with the black silhouettes of architectural fragments, tree branches, and the artifacts of urban technology. I see my work as a representation of urban gentrification and flux whose visual symbols are everywhere. In my paintings I choreograph these elements to represent the social and economic collisions that are taking place at the level of the street. I invite the viewer to enter a fantasy world where familiar elements rub against each other in unfamiliar combinations to create a sense of unease and imbalance in an urban dystopia.
